What is 19.6 percent of 25.2 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 25.2 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 25.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25.2=100%
2) x=19.6%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
25.2/x=100%/19.6%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 19.6% of 25.2

25.2/x=100/19.6
(25.2/x)*x=(100/19.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25.2=5.1020408163265*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1020408163265) to get x
25.2/5.1020408163265=x
4.9392=x
x=4.9392

now we have:
19.6% of 25.2=4.9392
